Glad I could be of assistance with a Christmas gift idea. Freesias are one of my sister's fav flowers too. I found my bulbs on eBay, ordered them yesterday and they arrived today. They look in good nick (bought some for myself too! It would be rude not to!) and were very reasonably priced! Not sure if this will work, but here's the link:

I planted some in a large pot in Spring and they did nothing until August when they finally sent up shoots. They are about 10 inches tall now but no sign of a flower and they've been in the conservatory since it started getting cold. I'll either get flowers for Christmas or (far more likely) they'll continue to look like a bowl of wide grass until they die back! No doubt if I chuck them on the compost heap they'll decide to flower!

I do like the light perfume of freesia. I have little luck in getting them to flower after their first year. I know that you are supposed to lift the bulbs, but I never do. The leaves come up but I rarely get any flowers.
